Sonnet launches new four-port USB-C PCI-e for Mac Pro tower. Wednesday, January 30, 2019, 08 46 am PT. Sonnet on Wednesday rolled out two adapter cards, Allegro USB-C 4-Port PCIe and Allegro Pro USB 3.1 PCIe, both of. Each USB port on the cards can up to 7.5 watts of power and operate at Gen 2 speeds, enabling file transfers up to 10 gigabits per second. SSD for instance can transfer files at 800 megabytes per second, or up to 1.2 gigabytes conjunction with three other drives.. To use the cards most Mac owners will need enclosure, and they should work with pre-2013 Mac Pro models. Neither card requires power lead supplied from inside the unit, which many inexpensive cards demand.. Apple is working on Mac Pro for launch sometime year, which could support PCIe 5.0 for faster speeds while maintaining backwards compatibility..
